Great, now you made the gerbil wheel turn, thanks a lot.
Who is Luthan?
Well there are some interesting hints.
He gives Andor a Kyber Crystal, the heart of a light saber. He tells Andor to get a least 50,000 for it though its worth far more to him, probably sentimental value.
In one of the early episodes, Andor asks who Luthan is and the answer is interesting "That's not something that we will ever discuss". Not someone, but something.
Its thin, but I believe that Luthan is a former Jedi that survived Order 66 and listened to what Obi-Wan said in his holocron message in Rebels.
Quote:
“This is Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. I regret to report that both our Jedi Order and the Republic have fallen, with the dark shadow of the Empire rising to take their place. This message is a warning and a reminder for any surviving Jedi. Trust in the Force. Do not return to the Temple. That time has passed. And our future is uncertain. We will each be challenged. Our trust… our faith… our friendships.
“But we must persevere. And in time, a new hope will emerge. May the Force be with you, always.”

The Empire doesn't know who Luthan is yet, so why change his look when he returns to his shop. Is it to disguise against future identification, or is the Empire already looking for Luthan from his previous life, and they know what Luthan Jedi Knight looks like.
Is it possible that he is a former Jedi, is it more possible that his ruthless nature and willingness to see civillian casualties to drive the narrative against an Empire that he wants revenge in the worst possible way for the deaths of his friends ? Is he not only a Jedi, but one who has fallen?
